CK Tornado F5 Earguard Review

3s_em1 · 12-22-2007, 09:02 PM

I started getting this (2 months tops! of Gi training). I have been doing No-Gi for over a year and never had issues.

The earguard fits well and does not move much. I have not grappled with it yet but I gave it a good shake while wearing it. It is pretty confortable and fits over my big ears with ease.

The earguard is material is pretty soft and does not have sharp edges. My only concern is the velcro fastening system. I am afraid I will scratch others or myself. I will probably wrap it with tape once I get a good fit

I am happy with the guard and will update the review once I get to roll with it.

** I can hear perfectly**

Here are a few pics:

It was the same price and I chose this one. To each his own.

I finally got to roll in it. Very light and comfortable. My ears did not hurts and my rolling partner did not get hurt either.

They did not get in my way or hinder my performance.

Gets my thumbs up.

I got these and ended up giving them to my nephew for wrestling. I was using them for jiujitsu but the ear pieces stick out too far and made it hard for my partners when going for oma-plata and gogo plata. I am looking to get something that is flatter to my head.

It is very comfy though.

I wera those for wrestling and they're the best headgear I've ever worn. Most other types get uncomfortable after a while in practice but I've never had that problem with these,also the hearing is great except for directly in front of you sometimes

After having this:

done to fix my ears twice, I am now on team "head gear 4 life". I have the CK tornado Headgear, and it's very comfy, and doesn't hurt my training partners. If you're susceptible to this injury get this, or something like it. Getting stitches through your ear sucks.
